Better earphones? I don't know about anyone else but the earphones that came with this hurt. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend some that are more comfortable? Maybe smaller?

The question above is the critical one - you can alwys spend more and get better. BUT let me add this: for an immediate, and mind-blowing upgrade at less than 15 bucks, go out and get yourself a pair of Koss KSC75s. They are light on the ears, small, and easy to transport. However, they sound incredible not only "at this price range" but in their own right. Get that purchase over with and then you can think about whether you want to spend more or not. But trust me on this, for most folks the Koss's are fantastic. You won't be disappointed. No I don't work for Koss, but I'd be willing to.Koss KSC75 Portable Stereophone Headphones The question above is the critical one - you can alwys spend more and get better.

I second that I am a loyal Skullcandy customer and these are the best headphones I've found yet, and there cheap too.

I was able to purchase skull candy earphones for $12 at Marshalls. Check the store out they sell good quality earphones at cheap prices.

I love my Klipsh S4 earbuds. Far superior comfort and sound compared to ipod stock earphones. Cost about $80, but you wont believe the difference in sound. Especially bass.

I have little ears so the ipod earbuds never fit in my ears. To add to this, my ear canals are different sizes. I have had good luck with the Skullcandy brand (approx $22). They come with 3 different ear pieces so you can customize your fit. They are also pretty noise-canceling, but not to the point where you can't hear what's going on around you (if you are biking or running). Also, some versions come with a volume control on the cord, so you don't have to fiddle around with the dial.

Definitely not kidding. I had a slight problem with the J2's (the left earbud wasn't getting full range, weak on the low frequency) and emailed them. Within a day I got an email back answering my question and shortly thereafter (after trying to solve the problem myself) shipped a completely new pair. Which coincidentally work very well.Hope it goes as well for you!

Hi John, u clearly can save ur money because you get punchyer bass out of much cheaper earphones. This one is great in hearing the details, it feels like the iPod is connected to the brain directly "Super great details and presence" but overall is not the best comfort hearing solution and money wise is big waste if not used

I found them quite uncomfortable after an hour. Something that guys around your ear is far better, that's what I have now. The noise cancelling function is a waste if time, I get a better result out of my current 'normal' headphones.

Earphones are great for daily use however if I were you I would go with a brand like Marshall. You can find some great earphone for less than 200.00.

I am looking for the same information, after a google search it seems that these are a little short for earbuds. Which is fine with me, I use an extender to work with my phone and am a short person so I was hoping for a shorter pair. I think I will order them and if no one responds by the time they come I will let you know. I have been looking at these, they have an extender that might be useful to you:http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-CX-Ear-Headphone-Black/dp/tech-data/B000WOIG8C/ref=de_a_smtd

I found that on the head they felt very good...however for me my ears started to really hurt after about 45 minutes or so of use. I noticed this trend though with any on the ear headphones, so personally this was enough for me to return them to purchase a pair of song OVER the ear headphones.

its not bad or noticeable. They are great but have weak Bass compared to what i am used to. I enjoy heavy deep bass. but then again its not for everyone. Besides that, the earphone were great with low chord noise.

Are these bendable ? I have a cheapo pair of another brand and they're OK but kind of wide for my head so they don't sit close enough to my ear.I need a pait that I can bend so it stays put .PS: I don't like the in the ear buds and rather stick with this type of design but need a pait that I can bend inward.Thanks

The earphones that come with it do suck. Mine lasted two weeks before I replaced them with some Sony in-ear buds. Not only are they more comfortable, but they tend to block out ambient noises.

I owned 429s Sennheisers i got same problem the amp makes the volume louder on all 400 line Sennheisers i think,also might wanna think about getting fiio e11 i heard it goes louder than e6 but cant be used while charging like the e6 can.Makes Sennheisers sound awesome.

I contact Klipsch support since the seams on my M40 ear pads had seperated within the 2-year warranty. I was told they no longer have ear pads since the headphones are discontinued. That is certainly a poor excuse given that they are within warranty. I certainly won't be making any future purchases from Klipsch based on this poor after sales support. Perhaps a different brand of headphones has a comparable sized replacement ear pad that will fit these? Has anyone found such a match? Considering the cost I'm not ready to throw them away.

Just curious, how would acetone end up on your headphones? For what it is worth, these headphones are kind of crappy. They are very hard to hear with one ear.

I don't think you have dine anything wrong. The designed is different from older versions. The most recent pair I bought sounded muffled as well. Shoould have returned but didn't, I will just buyna different brand in the future. It is a shame they used to be a decent pair of earbuds for the price.

My husband has told me these earphones are the most comfortable he has ever worn. The ear cups are oblong and the padded cushion rests gently on the outer ear so that the ear hole is not in any way impacted. He has experienced no ear hole pain and states that the sound quality is exceptional. I am very sensitive to earphones as are you and have found them to be comfortable when I have used them as well. I hope this is helpful.

Stick to anything else. After receiving two pairs through warranty i was able to get a refund through amazon today. The product is severely defective and i am just lucky i could get my $80 back. Try apple earpods with mic or some of those skull candy ones. much cheaper and don't brake as easily. Also for the price there isn't a significant difference in sound quality. hope this helps if you have any questions just ask i went through three pairs so ill know.

Thanks, that's all the info I need! I'm only on the treadmill or elliptical for an hour, so I doubt I will reach that discomfort point. I'm just over those crappy earbuds that came with my ipod. Thanks so much for your response!-Mara
